My new favourite Drink…

Standard

So today I got to taste a new drink that I would probably have never thought of it as a drink.

It’s called charcoal drink. Healthy drink by a company call RAW-honest. .. they had all kinds of Healthy drinks. But the charcoal one was my all time best.

I found this group by joining this page called Meet Up…it’s an app too
So everywhere around the world we travel too I can plug in my location and I will be able to find people who have the same interest as me and they meet up and just mingle.

So if you are travelling around the world just download the app and enjoy. Great app for travellers.

Well picture of me and my new coal drink

THAI cooking Lesson

Standard

Today was probably one of my memorable days in Bangkok…

Well a week before I was on the train with my kids. And Mj my 5 yr old who just loves to talk to everyone he sees. There was a lady seating next us and my son started showing her the map and just chatting with her.

So as a natural way of things I also started making conversations with her. The cut the story shorter than short. We ended up spending the whole day with her. A very lovely lady from Israel who is visiting Bangkok with her husband and they are here for 10days.

So after the day we decided to organise dinner so our husbands can meet.

So after all the meeting Shira my new life long friend from Israel and I decided to take the Thai cooking class.

Oh this lady was super cool. The teacher, she basically took us to the Market and we shopped and asked all our questions about thai food and spices.

I can now make Thai Papaya salad and also make another dish that Shira and I actually added a little twist to it and call it fish around the world. We also cooked shrimp in red curry paste. Yummy and really truly a fun filled day for the two of us.

Here are some pictures of our teacher and her name is May she has a Facebook page called Thai cooking school. Check her out if you are in Bangkok. It makes me now appreciate Thai food even more.

At the market shopping for our groceries..

image

Now this was awful to look at…

image

I loved this stand…fresh fish and fillet for you

image

Turtle…Thai people buy baby turtle and they let it loose in the river it’s a believe that it’s for good luck. So this is for sale but not for eating.

image

Ok those…I almost threw up…gutted frogs…

image

Lots of veggie options

image

And that’s their sweets…Lots of colors

image

Grilled banana…

image

Me and my new life long friend

image

It was not easy pounding this stuff…making fresh red curry paste. And we are told in the olden days in Bangkok a man choose his wife with this activity….how much noise she can make when pounding the paste with the stone morta….I probably will still be single based on that…because my arm was tired after a few pounds. LOL! !

image

And our curry is on the fire

image

That’s our around the world fish prep

image

Time to trying our around the world fish dish…yummy

image

And we are all done and happy with our teacher…we have our foods in our bag to take home and share with our family…great day teacher.

Friends all around the Globe…

Kidz get to be Adults in KIDZANIA

Standard

If you come to Bangkok with your young kids..make it a point to take them to Kidzania at Siam Paragon on the 5th floor..It’s so worth it.

It’s a city just for our young kids to be like adults….you know apply for a job, wait to be hired, work and get paid. take your cheque to the bank and cash and then decide to spend your earnings or save it for your next trip to Kidzania…

The place was so alive and looks like the streets of bangkok…The skies looks real and the work places was really made for the eyes to believe its real.

My kids light up and was jumping all over the place. Now if you go over the weekdays at 12:30pm you get a 30% discount so keep that in mind. Weekends are more expensive. Super cool place made just for kids.
